When you have created a vector graphic and want to add text, you can either
enter normal mode to add text to your image or you can print text from within
the GL/2 mode. If this is your first experience with GL/2, you should know
that the term "label" is used throughout this section to indicate the printing
of text.
The information in this section enables you to perform the following:
Position and print labels using any font.
Change label size, slant. and direction.
Designate and select standard and alternate fonts.
Print with proportional and monospaced fonts.
Work with the character cell.

AD kind, ~alue [. kind, value, . . ;]
This command defines an alternate GL/2 font and its characteristics: font
spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface. It allows the font
characteristics to be assigned to the secondary (alternate) font definition. Use
this command to set up an alternate font that you can easily access when
labeling.
The kind parameter specifies the characteristic for which you are setting a
value (see the following table).
